Do you think its a fair assessment that us old firm fans?

Question

have a chip on our shoulder and can't handle criticism....and to add fuel to the fire do you think one is worse than the other...do you think its unfair of us to demand constant success from our team..or is that just natural

Answer 1

Can handle the criticism...if they play bad they play bad.

But these people who go on about sack the manager after a few under par performances p#ss me off.

If either old firm win the league its sucsess for one and failure for the other.

Success would be at the moment (for celtic anyway )to get out of their group and maybe even last 8 in the champions league and retain the league title.For rangers it would be winning the league this year.

Answer 2

We certainly demand constant success of our club, mainly because our only realy competitor for the major honour is our biggest rivals, which means if we aren't winning it they are!! Wouldn't say we all can't take criticism, some certainly can't, but thats just they way them people are in is not exclusive to celtic or rangers

Answer 3

Considering there's only one club in Scotland I don't think we demand too much... the last 16 will do for this year owing to no decent signings.

Roll on January ..

Answer 4

what you mean i cant handle criticism?!  I take offence to that!

Answer 5

It is unfair to demand constant success of Rangers because they have neither the infrastructure nor finances to sustain it.

Celtic on the other hand have everything in place for sustained success-there is no excuse for failure.

Rangers fans have an excuse for a chip on their shoulder-we do not have such a luxury.

Hope this helps xx

Answer 6

we are like every other supporters happy as a pig in S***e when things go well and when things go bad the biggest two faced gits on the planet

Answer 7

You should expect success because off the low quality of the opposition in their league but you cant expect them to win when they come against quality teams.Sad but true.

Answer 8

Rangers fans are much worse, far to critical to easily, its no unfair to demand success cause we are in such a **** league we should be winning everything

Answer 9

I agree with thommy. We're fine untill everything goes bad.

I mean lose one game and everyhing's going to h**l.

i'd tell you this much I wouldn't like to be a manager of rangers. Too much pressure. One minute you'd be the saviour the next you'd be hanged for something. Nah no thanks.

To be honest I don't think I am like that. Sure I get upset if things go wrong or if we f**k up but I don't start all this lets head to murry's office pish like some rangers fans were at the beginning of the season

what a bunch of tosh pots  

Answer 10

I for one dont have a chip on my shoulder.we do demand  success but then we should do,as overall celtic are the dominant club in scotland,closely followed by hearts.ahem,i do of course mean that smaller club from glasgow,rangers.What does annoy me is people like bill leckie constantly droning and moaning about us both and saying we think we are scottish football.he obviously thinks so too as you hardly see his scribing about other clubs.i dont grudge other smaller clubs,like QOS getting to the final and Rangers getting to the eufa cup final as scottish football needs that bit of fairytale romance in the game.  

Answer 11

We can accept it when it is the truth.No it's not unfair of us to demand constant success of our team,we are fans so yes it is natural.

In all fairness the Celtic fans this week knew Rangers were the better team on Sunday and they even said so themselves so I give them credit for that and they took the dogs abuse we gave them on the chin and with dignity.

Answer 12

why settle for anything less than success bluebell.......btw wee lyla was born on monday morning by e/c, she's a wee cracker and im the happiest hun alive x

Answer 13

Well you can see from some of the Celtic responses who has the chip on there shoulders..

To be honest over the years i have been here, i would say the Celtic are the worst as regards to Chips on there shoulders.. I will only respect Old Firms fans if they respect the rest of Scottish Football, and there are a few here that do so, but i would not spit on the rest if they were on fire, if they want to live there life's a lie and in delusion, then so be it, more fool's them.

As far as demanding Success, since you play in a inferior league were the rest can not compete in terms of finance then yes you should be demanding that success..
